During Week 7 we have our first major school sports event for the year – Swimming Sports. We hope all students are able to take part either in the participation events or the finals as they earn points for their whānau with every event they participate in. Students and staff will be dressed up in their whānau colours showing their whānau spirit. It is always a great day of students giving things a go and ends with the hotly contested class, whānau and Staff vs Students relay. All our families are invited to come along to support the students in action at the Year 0-3 event on Tuesday and the rest of the school on Thursday. Please know it can get very loud, particularly in the Thursday afternoon session!
